Keynote
summary
Figma announces specific design system upgrades: a core remodel yields up to 60% faster basic editing and 3x faster prototyping, asset publishes drop from minutes to seconds, and an internal multibrand clean-up shrinks 32,000 unique variable values to ~6,000. New features include extended collections (enterprise rollout next month), slots (early access, all plans), variable import/export, Check Designs auto-fixes (44 changes applied in one demo), Make Kits exporting to React + npm imports, Code Connect improvements, and MCP server out of beta for AI-driven code generation.
